From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2013 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Hermes enjoys a long-standing connection with France's naval museum, the musée national de la Marine. In 2010, the museum presented a marvellous collection of models made to order for an insatiable explorer and discoverer, Admiral Pâris. An engineer, painter and draughtsman, ethnologist and writer, Pâris sailed the oceans of the world, and became the museum's curator in 1871. Aline Honoré's design is a free Interpretation of the extraordinary models - a tribute to the man himself, and to the exhibition for which this carré is named. In the world of boats, as with every other sphere, intellectual curiosity, necessity and invention are the order of the day. The silhouette of each craft is determined by the resources, currents and winds of its home port and region. An exceptional, diverse array of ships is surrounded by exuberant animals and luxuriant flora. In the centre, a Trabaccolo from the Adriatic is decked with checkerboard salls; above, a Muleta from the river Tagus is preceded by its multiple sails, like a flurry of kites; at the top right, a Chilean Balse des Intermedios consists of two airtight sacks made from of skins. The vessel has no sail, like the Chelingue, at the bottom of the design, and the Masula-Manché from Pondicherry, bristling with oars. Left of this, a little higher up, a Calcuttan Pansway supports a shelter on deck. Designed as river ferrles, Pansways continued to be built until quite recently, using wood and natural fibres. To sail the seas, lakes and rivers of the planet is to discover our aquatic world, journeying to places and cultures as yet unknown.
Size Guide
- Twilly: small but mighty, use it like a typical scarf, as a bag handle, as a belt, and more.
- 45cm: this is the typical pocket square size, will fit around the neck like a bandana.
- 55cm: this is the bandana size typically printed in 3 colors to look like a traditional bandana.
- 70cm: this is a great option for petites and they are typically made out of a lighter weight silk than any of the other formats.
- 90cm: this is the classic Hermès scarf size. It's very versatile and if you're looking at any vintage photos, this is the scarf size that's worn.
- 140cm: the largest size of the bunch, almost reaching 5 ft. It's hard to capture the scale in photos but these are incredible as a lightweight shawl in the summer, or folded for a warmer feel in the winter.
- Shawls & Other Sizes: there are a few styles that Hermès does not make every season which are just as lovely and fit into this category.
